One of the most widely used Google applications, both in its browser version and in the specific version for mobile devices, is Google Maps (So much so, that it is together with YouTube the most prominent of this company). Well, it seems that those from Mountain View are working on new features in the interface of this development in its web version.
Those that have been known are not great options to increase the functionality, but small modifications that allow a use of this work much more efficient. For example, the search bar will include the icon that allows you to know the directions to get to a place. Besides, in this section of the development it is seen that the design is now much closer to Material Design.
It is also appreciated that the information panels that appear have another location and, now, are centered in the lower part of the screen - and leave the lower part of the search bar. The point is, this allows access to options, including a activation slider included, is more comfortable and very reminiscent of the version for mobile devices.
Traffic information improvements
All the traffic indications, which have been starting on Google Maps for some time, have been redesigned and are now much clearer to identify (circles are used, which favors their visualization). This does not cause any functionality to be lost, since for example being able to select the day of the week to know an average of the state of a road is still totally possible. Of course, again, the Material Design design makes its appearance.
In any case, the arrival of these novelties is not imminent, since they are in the testing phase - and, as always, the first place where they can be enjoyed will be the USA. Yes indeed, in a month At most, it is to be expected that the global deployment will begin and the web version of Google Maps will get the news that a user group is already testing. Do you think that is interesting news?
